Rhea Ripley took to social media to share a gnarly injury that she suffered while performing at a WWE Japan Supershow.
In a recent post on X, Ripley showed off a video of her and the broken nose she suffered. As one would assume, the video is gnarly, as Ripley’s nose is completely swollen, and stuffed with gauze. The WWE star seems to be a good sport about it, though, as she jokingly says “yeah” while showing off the injury before giving the camera the thumbs up.
As for what happened, fans in attendance at the Japan Supershow were available to provide context. According to fans online, Ripley was hurt in a match while partnering with IYO SKY. Facing Stephanie Vaquer and Raquel Rodriguez, SKY was thrown out of the ring and onto Ripley. The collision knocked Ripley down, and in the process broke her nose.
Despite the injury, Rhea Ripley seems to be fine making jokes about it. In a separate post on social media, she shared a photo of her dog Barry, a bull terrier, known for their big noses. In a side-by-side, she also shared a photo of her bruised and swollen nose, jokingly comparing the two.
As of now, it’s unclear how long, if at all, the injury will keep Rhea out of action.
